This is the second book with the title "Anthology". It includes some of the songs from the first version, but when reissued, it was updated with some of John's later works. There were some very good songs from the first edition that were left out; but for those of us who admired John's work, there really aren't any BAD JD songs.

Regardless of your playing ability, you'll find most everything you need to play John's songs pretty faithfully to the original recordings. In fact, with the help of this book, and recordings of the songs, you should be able to actually improve your ability if you're a beginner. For those of you who are more advanced, you'll be able to jump right in there and go to town. It includes capo positions, and special tuning notes that are accurate to John's style, and easy enough for a novice player to follow.

If you're a fan of John's at all, this book is something you should have. Enjoy!

I selected this book as I needed 'For You'. I was very pleased with this arrangement. Great selection of 54 songs with reflections by John.
Chords including allowing all levels and guitar to enjoy and expand.
The glossy front and back covers make this a great gift.
I am very pleased with this John Denver Anthology and highlly 'reco' this Cherry Lane Music book.

John Denver was a musicians singer who just happened to play guitar. Dont discount him because he didn't play the "hip" role. I admire him because he stayed true to himself. As a musician I still use and go back over his material. It is great.
